If you work from home and get stuck behind the computer hours on end, you’ll drive yourself crazy and everything turns into 10101010101010s.

So today I’m getting out for some fresh air and going to meet up with some local bloggers here.

I got this tip from listening to an interview online with the legendary Willie Crawford. (Yes I do listen to a lot of interviews online.)

Basically the interview mentioned how he got a lot of business for his internet marketing services and also to network with others. Sounds like sound advice right?

Yes it will be great to go and network and generate more business, but I thought that it would also be an awesome way to go meet some people who are doing what I’m doing, blogging and internet marketing.

It’s fine to connect with even your current friends but sometimes they tend to go blank when you start talking about twitter, stumble, pinging, social bookmarking and html etc… hence the need to hang out with folks who are doing the same things as me.

Hopefully I’ll meet some movers and shakers and get to hook up with a few local people to chat it up and encourage each other every now and then.

I found this group of people on MeetUp.com by the way, which has a ton of different groups listed on the website.

So if you feel like you’re about to go crazy working from home and on the internet and don’t want to look like you’re speaking a foriegn language when talking to friends and family, definitely join a group in your area and get from behind the computer.

Do you feel the same way about crunching for hours in solitude behind the computer screen? What’s your take?
